6. You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.

7. You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

15. You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always

pronounced "Zed" not "Zee"

16. Your local newspaper covers the national news on 2 pages, but

requires 6 pages for hockey.

21. You perk up when you hear the theme song from 'Hockey Night in Canada'.

22. You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.

23. "Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary, and is more

24. You actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all of your

Canadian friends!!!!

Glad I'm not the only one who didn't catch that one. I was starting to feel very un-Canadian for a while there

Remember the "heritage minute" with the classic line..... "Dr. Penfield, I smell burnt toast!" ???

the hubster just became a Canadian citizen last year, but he is ALWAYS pointing out Canadian singers, actors, comedians, etc. to me... always always always. i have probably heard 5 or 6 times that Sarah McLachlan, Avril and Pamela Anderson are Canadian. he is so proud.
